NEWSTOC 2021

[daboo]

I went to NEWSTOC with the ST-Owners group last weekend.  The rally is held in Seven Bays, WA at Todd and Kari's place.
Wenatchee River just outside Leavenworth.
Steamboat Rock on Banks Lake
Leaving for breakfast on Saturday morning.  I'm in the middle of the pack.

Lake Roosevelt





The motley crew.  We had 22 riders show up at Todd and Kari's.  The "garage" is actually a hanger.  It works perfect to bring all the bikes in for the night.
Some of the group exchanging tall tales of things they've done, or wish they had done.  
There's a free ferry system to cross Lake Roosevelt at various points.


Lunch stop overlooking Grand Coulee Dam.
Chief Joseph's burial site.
Riding home on Sunday next to Lake Lenore.  Those cliff faces remind me of some giant warriors overlooking the river.

Soap Lake


Dry Falls
If you're ever in the area, this is a place worth stopping to look at.  "Climate Change" is real.  During the last Ice Age, Lake Missoula formed.  At one point point, the waters broke through the ice dam and came down through this area.  The falls were five times the width of Niagara Falls, and the water pouring over was 10 times the current amount of water in all the rivers of the world combined today.
The Columbia River
Did you notice how wonderful the sky looked in the pictures above?  Now this is what was on the west side of Snoqualmie Pass.

Ughh, back to reality, eh?

Looks like a great trip, though. Thanks for sharing.
